Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin strips, resembling the size and shape of traditional fries.

Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning paste.
Step 5
Spread the coated carrot fries out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded to allow even baking.
